    Biofuels use valuable land that can be used to feed people or be nature. No need for it to be used to allow some rich asshole to drive a car.

      Only if you’re stupid about it and overuse them. My diesel VW runs on 100% biodiesel made from waste fat from chicken processing that would’ve gotten landfilled or something otherwise.

        That’s maybe fine for small scale usage. And even then I don’t know if this is actually good. In any case your USA case won’t scale well. I also don’t know if it is even legal in my country.

        I more meant large scale biofuel cultivation instead of food and nature. Cause then these companies will start eating up agro subsidies etc while keeping polluting cars on the road.
